I was born and raised in Zimbabwe where I taught for 20 years before I came to beautiful New Zealand eleven years ago. I was so fortunate to get a position at Reignier Catholic School, primarily in the Senior Team but later moved down to the New Entrants, where I have been for the last decade.
I absolutely love teaching the youngest children in the school. Every day is an adventure.
I am responsible for the school's music programme and enjoy working with the talented children in the choir, orchestra and various music groups we offer.

I have been part-time teaching doing the school's Reading Recovery release since the beginning of 2007. I now run the Reading Recovery. Previously I have had experience teaching in Wellington Primary Schools as well as working for the North Wellington Life Education Trust.
I lived and taught in England for 2 years before moving back to my home town of Napier to start my own family.
I have two boys. As a past pupil of Reignier Catholic School it is a pleasure to be involved in the school again.

Better known as PIP.

I love teaching at Reignier and sharing my Christian faith with the children.
I am trained in reading recovery and have a particular interest in the arts, inquiry and science. I really enjoy providing gymnastics training and helping with liturgical dance.

I have one daughter at Reignier and one at St Patricks Intermediate.

I love working with the wonderful children who attend our school and their families.

I joined the staff at Reignier in July 2009. I currently have 1 child attending the school, 1 at Taradale Intermediate and 1 at St Johns. I love getting outdoors with my children going camping, walking, gardening and fishing. Since joining the staff at Reignier I have been introduced to Optimist Yatching which I look forward to taking all Year 6's each year. I also have the responsibility of looking after our school road patrollers who do a fantastic job at keeping us all safe at the crossing.This year I am also overseeing the ICT with Pip Brooker. Together we hope to carry on the fantastic work that has been done previously. During the year you will also find me coaching our school hockey teams and out in the school vege garden with the children.

Since having children I have worked as a reliever and as a part time teacher at Reignier. This year I am teaching one day a week in in Room 1a and two days in Room 10.
I enjoy teaching at all levels of the school and I have loved my long association with Reignier.
I enjoy participating in all areas of the Arts at school, particularly performing arts.
